Installation Notes and Tips

Installation instructions are not included. Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front left position before ordering. Inspect the window glass, guides, switches, and wiring before installation so the replacement assembly can operate correctly once installed. Because this is a bolt-on assembly, proper alignment of the regulator and glass is important for smooth operation.
